Orly Blush Collection 2014 and Cupcakes with Sophie’s Mom

Blush Collection with Coffee and Cupcakes...What a great way to start my Saturday of bonding with my girl.

The Orly Blush Collection with Coffee and Cupcakes…What a great way to start my Saturday of bonding with my girl.

Of the many different ways Gia and I like to bond,  we have a few favorites.

Orly8We love to bake and eat sweets, and we love to pamper ourselves. We really value our girl time together. So this is why we were looking forward to our Orly Mother Daughter Pampering Date at Sophie’s Mom in McKinley Hill.

Natural Colors that tender and feminine:  from L-R Naked Canvas (Nude with Pink Pearl), Cheeky (Peach Shimmer), First Blush (Coral Crème), Dare to Bare (Taupe Crème), Classic Contours (Mauve Crème), Flawless Flush (Cool Lilac w/Gold Shimmer). Screen shot taken from Orly PH FB page

We both blocked off our entire Saturday so we could spend the day together.

With Fleur

We were happy to be spending time with fellow SoMoms Fleur and Jackie and their daughters as well.

I learned from Tonette, who is "Sophie's Mom" that she started this business with the help of her daughter. They actually started out by selling Mochi in one of the Assumption Fairs!

I learned from Tonette, who is “Sophie’s Mom” that she started this business with the help of her daughter, (yes, you guessed it) Sophie. They actually started out by selling mochi in an Assumption Fair!

Tonette’s daughter, Sophie, is known for loving everything and anything Japanese. So together they decided that they would sell their Japanese Mochi Ice Cream at the Assumption Fair.  When they sold out all their Mochi before 12nn on the first day of the fair, Tonette found herself scrambling and baking cupcakes, just so that they would still have something to sell for the duration of the fair. This was back in 2010, and since then their business has expanded to sell delicious treats such as Truffled Mochi, Frozen Braso Ice Cream and of course the cupcakes that they are very well known for. Tonette shared how she and her daughters all play a part in the business. Sophie helps with product photos (and recently got into blogging as well), Steph helps with the running of the stores, and Sam likes to come up with the smoothie recipes. (Sam has been known to make a mean ice candy as well.)

We took advantage of the sweets that were on the dessert table, once our nails were dry.

Tonette would like to see more people utilize the space in her McKinley location. She envisions a “Crave, Create, and Celebrate” type of atmosphere in her bake shop that serves savories as well if that’s what pleases your palate.

Gia super loved the colors from the collection prior to BLUSH. Baked is a collection that was released earlier this summer.

Gia super loved the colors from the collection prior to BLUSH. Baked is a collection that was released earlier this summer. These colors are in stark contrast to the natural colors of the Blush Collection, but they are perfect for a teenager like Gia.

But what was most pleasing for me and Gia was the time we spent together being pampered and having our nails done with a quality polish that we know very well. Orly is a fast drying polish (We need that if we are on the go!) that applies well with two coats, and is safe to use even on pregnant women.

With Orly Brand Manager, Jackie Dyecho, and Marketing Assistant, Clarisse Lacanlale.

Great Minds think alike...Jackie, Fleur, and I all decided that Dare to Bare was the color of choice.

I love how light and fresh the colors are…they are muted but with enough color that won’t clash or attract too much attention.

Orly lacquer is free of DBP, Toluene,  and Formaldehyde. The polish is known for the easy to use Gripper Cap, and  provides streak-free coverage. It is also formulated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and yellowing. This means it’s safe for everyone to use. Yes, safety is important…most especially with anything you put on your body, and this includes nail polish as well.

Orly 7Moms and daughters together: Me and Gia, Fleur and Anika, Marjorie and her Mom, Jackie and Gabbie, and Tonette, owner of Sophie’s Mom. 

The Blush and Baked Collections are available full retail for only P385.00 per bottle. You can find Orly Nail Lacquers and treatments at all PUREBEAUTY stores. (Serendra, Trinoma, ATC, Harbor Point Subic, Landmark, Robinson’s, Gaisano, and PCX outlets.)

Call 903-0476 for more information on all ORLY products or visit the ORLY PH facebook page, and Instagram account.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
